City Miracles

He is one of this generation’s pioneers in the concept of bringing prayer and intercession into businesses. He provides testimonies about these experiences in his first book, Thank God It’s Monday!

Rick is a seasoned implementer and practitioner of the principles of prayer evangelism. He is a regular faculty member for Harvest Evangelism conferences around the world, including the renowned annual International Conference on Marketplace Transformation and Nation Reaching in Argentina.

Rick’s second book, The Elk River Story, shows how leaders in Elk River, Minnesota implemented prayer evangelism to transform the spiritual climate in their city.

In August, 2003 Chuck Pierce and Dutch Sheets came to Minnesota as part of their fifty state tour related to the United States Global Apostolic Prayer Network (USGAPN). They prophesied that Minnesota is God's threshing floor for the nation. In his role as Minnesota apostolic coordinator for the USGAPN, Rick captured these prophetic words and did additional research so that his third book, The Threshing Floor, is now a prayer guide for the state of Minnesota.

Rick's teaching combines extensive knowledge of the Word of God, the anointing of the Holy Spirit and 25 years of business experience. He is a member of the visiting faculty, in the Marketplace Track, of the Wagner Leadership Institute in Colorado Springs. Rick is also the Minnesota apostolic coordinator for the United States Global Apostolic Prayer Network (USGAPN), and in that position, he leads a statewide network of intercessors. Rick and his wife, Rachel, live in Bloomington, Minnesota.
